Cuban Doctors Lead the World!

Cuba: Eye Specialists Prepare for “World Glaucoma Week”! (13.3.2026)

The day will culminate with a glaucoma investigation in Old Havana, specifically in the Convent of Belén, with the participation of patients, specialists from the institute and primary health care professionals.

At the same time, the hospital will perform minimally invasive glaucoma surgery on a demonstrative basis, aimed at resident doctors who are in training, as part of the teaching and professional updating process.

These actions reaffirm the commitment of the Cuban health system to the prevention of avoidable blindness, health education and the strengthening of the link between specialized services and the community.
